Welcome to the VintageOps Store!

My husband and I have been collecting vintage artwork from around the world for more than 40 years. As we approached retirement, we began to uncover much of our collection, and were amazed at how large it had grown. It would have been a shame to keep it boxed up, so we created VintageOps as a way to share these forgotten treasures.
We started this journey with T-shirts and tote bags, but along the way we discovered another forgotten treasure, the flour sack dishtowel. After selling our products for several years at various Art Shows and businesses in the Reno, NV area, we were hit with a swarm of positive feedback. Being a tourist town, the number one question was "where can I buy more?" So we launched our online store to answer the question.

Curtis, William (30)

William Curtis [1746-1799] was an apothecary, botanist, and entomologist. At age 25, he produced Instructions for collecting and preserving insects, and he later published Flora Londinensis, a pioneering work that featured urban nature. He established his own London Botanic Garden and went on to publish "The Botanical Magazine" in 1787. The Curtisia dentata, a South African tree used in traditional African medicine, was named in Curtis' honor.
